Orphan Black Begins Production On Season Three
New episodes return to BBC America in the spring
Beware of spoilers for Season Two of Orphan Black.
Cameras are rolling on the third season of Orphan Black, the break-out science fiction hit from BBC America and SPACE.
The cable network announced that the Peabody Award-winning show has begun production in Toronto on the new season, which will air next spring with another 10 episodes. Tatiana Maslany returns in the astonishing role of Sarah Manning and her clone sisters Alison, Cosima, Helena, Rachel, and more.
Season Two ended with the shocking revelation that the clone sisters are only half of a bigger secret project: a group of male clones also exist. From BBC America:
Season Three plunges the clone sisterhood into unexpected territory with the realization that they’re not alone. Just when they thought they knew their enemies and allies, season three reveals our clones are more vulnerable than ever before. Highly trained, identical male-soldiers raise more questions than answers. Who are these new clones? Who created them? And more importantly, why do they exist? Sarah, Cosima, Alison and Helena are stronger together than they are apart, but this season will put that bond to the test. Will they forge towards their truth, or fall at the feet of those that seek to control them?
Returning in a lead role is Ari Millen, who plays the newly discovered male clones — Mark, the Prolethean cult follower and Rudy, a prisoner of war.
Also back this season is Jordan Gavaris as Sarah’s fiery foster brother Felix, Dylan Bruce as Paul, an army officer working for secret forces in the clone world, Maria Doyle Kennedy as Sarah and Felix’s duplicitous foster mother Mrs. S, Evelyne Brochu as Dyad Scientist and Cosima’s lover Delphine, Kevin Hanchard as Art, a detective caught in the clone trap, Michiel Huisman as Cal, father to Sarah’s daughter Kira (Skyler Wexler) and Zoé De Grand Maison as Gracie, a Prolethean escapee.
Additional casting for the series will be announced in the coming weeks.
Filming on Season Three will run until March, with the show premiering in the spring. Stick with SciFi Stream for more Orphan Black in the months to come!
